“In general, the highest prices for tours are in August, when major European nations such as Germans and Italians also have their main holidays. July tends to be a little cheaper. Pre- and post-season dates, i.e. June and September or October, are about fifteen percent cheaper,” Jiřina Ekrt Jirušková from the Invia travel agency confirmed Práva.
Compared to the main season, you can save from ten to thirty percent in September to October in most destinations

For example, a couple who went to the Egyptian Mars Alam in July paid 30,380 crowns for seven nights all inclusive in a five-star hotel. In September, a similar trip will cost 26,380 crowns.
A couple with two children between the ages of ten and fifteen, who went for the same length of stay in a four-star hotel, paid 85,706 crowns for their stay in July. In September, it would cost 55,860 crowns, pointed out Ekrt Jirušková.
According to Kateřina Pavlíková from Čedok, a stay in Taba, Egypt, departing in September, can currently be purchased for 15,000 crowns.

“In the main dates, it is around 19 to 20 thousand,” she pointed out. In general, according to her, in September and October, you can find more advantageous tours at the last minute.
The further south, the lower the discounts
Jan Bezděk from the Der Touristik group also confirmed that marginal dates are more profitable than the main season.
“But the price of the trip also includes when the client bought the vacation and what benefits he used,” he pointed out. Der Touristik operates travel agencies Fischer and Exim Tours.
There are several reasons for the drop in prices. On the one hand, it is due to lower demand. “And also by hoteliers’ efforts to extend the season by lowering prices,” pointed out Petr Šatný from CK Alexandria.
According to him, prices vary by date and destination. “The further south and with greater certainty of warm weather, the longer hoteliers here try to keep prices at the level approaching the main season. In general, however, it can be said that compared to the main season, you can save from ten to thirty percent in most destinations in September to October,” Šatný added.
The advantage does not have to be only in the price of the stay itself. According to Jan Papež, vice-chairman of the Association of Travel Agencies of the Czech Republic, bonuses aimed at children are part of the attractions. “Or you can find a system of buy seven nights, stay nine,” he said.
Traveling to the sea in the off-season is a suitable option especially for families with preschool children, seniors or travelers without children.
Travel compensation? Depending on the circumstances
“In this period, those who prefer more pleasant temperatures, better conditions for trips or sports activities and at the same time want to enjoy resorts with fewer tourists choose a vacation,” said Kateřina Pavlíková from the Čedok travel agency.
Active relaxation
According to Lucie Bukovanská from CK Blue Style, this period is more often visited by people who prefer to actively relax and get to know the destination, rather than devoting their entire stay to beach fun.
“In the post-season dates, customers go on various trips much more,” agrees Šatný. According to him, this is due to the fact that it is warm, but temperatures reaching the forties are rather exceptional. “It makes completing the trip more enjoyable and less demanding,” he mentioned.

It gets dark earlier
However, the early autumn vacation has its downsides. In most of the nearby destinations, it is dark earlier and the time to sunbathe is only from morning to afternoon.
“After that, it gets dark and the air cools down a little,” pointed out Jiřina Ekrt Jirušková.
“Tourists also move more south during these months. The Balearic and Canary Islands, Sicily, Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia or the United Arab Emirates are popular,” summarized Kateřina Chaloupková, director of the Association of Czech Travel Agencies and Agencies.
